Mansfield (E. Jasper Fisher). — Indian corn promises a very 

 good crop. The prospect for rowen is rather poor and there will 

 be a very small crop. Late potatoes look well; some blight and no 

 rot. The pros})ect is very good for fruit of all kinds. Pasturage 

 is in much better condition than usual since the late rains. Oats 

 are not quite as good a crop as usual; no barley raised. Celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are all looking well. 



Attlehorough (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn is in excellent con- 

 dition. The jDrospect for rowen is poor. There will be about a 

 three-fourths crop of late potatoes. Apples are abundant; gTapes 

 and cranberries fair. Feed in pastures is short. Oats and barley 

 are below average crops. Celery and other late market-garden crops 

 promise fairly well. 



Dighton (Howard C. Briggs). — Corn is below the average in 

 condition. Rowen will be half a crop. The prospect is poor for 

 late potatoes, though there is but little rot or blight. There will 

 be light yields of all fruits except gi-apes. Pasturage is in poor 

 condition. Oats and barley are below the average. Celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are poor. Crops are suffering from 

 dry weather again. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Indian corn will give half a crop. 

 There is very little rowen this year. The prospect for late potatoes 

 is fairly good, with no blight or rot as yet. Apples normal; grapes 

 good: pears and quinces scarce. Pasturage is in fairly good con- 

 dition. Oats and barley are half crops, owing to dry weather. 

 Celery and other late market-garden crojDS are looking fairly well. 

 "We have had frequent showers lately and late crops are looking 

 fairly well. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norivell (Henry A. Turner). — Indian corn is in good condi- 

 tion. Since the showers rowen gives promise of a normal crop. 

 Late potatoes are looking well and promise a good crop. Apples 

 good, also pears and grapes, and cranberries promise well. Pastures 

 are rather short, although the recent showers have helped. Oats 

 and barley are little grown. 



Hanover (Harrison L. House). — Corn is in very good con- 

 dition. Rowen is about a normal crop. Potatoes appear to be a 

 light crop, with some blight. All fruit is plentiful and of good 

 quality. Pasturage is in fair condition, but dry weather has hurt 

 it. Oats and barley are not raised. No celery is grown here. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Corn has improved wonderfully 

 and is looking well. On moist land rowen is nearly a normal crop. 

 Late potatoes are looking well, and I have not noticed any blight. 

 The prospect is good for all kinds of fruit. Pasturage is short, 

 but improved since the rains. Celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are looking fairly well.
